About This Course
This course prepares professionals to reduce the likelihood and impact of cyber incidents and to respond in a structured way when one occurs. It covers how cybercrime and other cyber threats affect organisations, which preventive and detective controls matter most, and how to plan, run, and improve an incident response capability.
The programme follows recognised practice aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO/IEC 27035, and common incident-response lifecycles. It is practical rather than tool-specific: participants work through threat scenarios, prevention priorities, response playbooks, communication, and post-incident improvement. The focus is defence, preparedness, and organisational response not attack techniques.
